Government employees are not innocent..., page 1

That's a bit menacing, all rather sinister.

I hardly think you can blame a clerk in a tax office for all your nations ills, still less anyone else employed in the civil service in some menial administrative capacity.

Blame yourself, your friends and family. You lot voted these people into office. Try campaigning to get them out, get your own people voted in, instead of posting your veiled threats.

Really thats all your thread was about ? whining about paying taxes? Paying taxes does suck ... but blaming it on people who work for the government ... AND pay their taxes is just ludicrous

Are there people who work for the government who just let them get away with it? Yes.

But that is not all of the employees. In fact, I would venture to say that MOST employees, especially the kind that you seem to be talking about, try to help us when we have to deal with them. I'd also say that they don't just let the boss who is directly over them, and probably a few bosses over that, walk all over them.

Most people just plain have more pride then that.

Attempting to demonize all government workers is petty.

I'd work for the government. Why you may ask? Because that seems like the best way to get any sort of change...maybe not in a grand way, but I could, if I was some sort of IRS worker, help a citizen find that one loop hole that saves them from paying their whole life savings worth in taxes.

I look at these employees as trying to help me first before I think of them as "working for the man"

I'd also make sure you know full and well within yourself what you want your message to be. Society is teetering on this fence right now. We are half government hating, and half just plain being passive. Just because we hate the machine doesn't mean we have to hate every nut and bolt that makes it up.

If/when any sort of revolution begins, these government workers can be our biggest allies. They know the inner workings, they have the access to the documents and files that we want to expose the corruption.

And something tells me there is a portion of them with said documents and files waiting for the right time to pounce.

So does this mean the Mail Carriers deserve to get shot? Does this mean the Park Ranger protecting the animals and forest should be fair game? The OSHA inspector ensuring that people have the apropriate safety equipment is a fair target? Really can you blame every person for the corruption at the top?

To believe the janitor dumping trash cans is opressing you is twisted logic. To say the head of the IRS or Fed is responsible is debatable but much more logical.

Starred and flagged, Good post. Ever notice how difficult is is sometimes to get a government employee to admit they work for the government? The US government is the world's largest employer...

With about 2.0 million civilian employees, the Federal Government, excluding the Postal Service, is the Nation's largest employer.
About 85 percent of Federal employees work outside the Washington, DC metropolitan area.

www.bls.gov...

Try to get a Welfare worker to admit they work for the State, and thus for the government. I tried this several times, and was refused each time to name their employer. The government is way too big, there are many government workers that do nothing for pay, and I would suppose, knowing government as I do that there are a few ghost employees too.

All you're doing here is dividing people up into groups and treating them as virtual enemies. Other posters here are correct, Government jobs are fine, especially if you can't get anything else, it wouldn't be a much better outcome if people did quit Government jobs either. The blame should be placed entirely upon the people behind the scenes, creating these problems in the first place. Most people don't even believe in all this conspiracy stuff anyway, so they probably haven't even considered that a Government job might be a bad thing.

I do, and will continue to. This is not about taxes.

If Satan had a business making chopsticks, and required by law that everyone buy the chopsticks... Would you be the grunt who made them?
